WRT 310 - Transnational Rhetorics (4 Cr.)


Cross-cultural encounters happen to us every day. However, are these encounters happening in an ethical way? How can we know? How do systems of oppression function across national borders, giving particular representations and interpretations validity and power? In this seminar, we will wrestle with these questions from a transnational rhetorical lens, broadening our perspective of rhetoric beyond a Eurocentric focus. We will examine a variety of texts within a global system: fictional and autobiographical accounts, scholarly articles, and films. Additionally, we will explore the ways in which place, nationality, and culture as well as other differences impact the construction, circulation, and reception of these works. Prerequisite: WRT 181   or WRT 181H  . Offered every other spring semester. Oweidat
